Each entry dislocations and dates of units with which any boat served, her commanders, the number of patrols undertaken, ships sunk along the names of vessels and locations, incidents of note, refuelling by U-tankers and supply ships, attacks on Chipping, survivors picked up, and finally, the ultimate fate." -- from the rear panel blurb.
